At first I wanted to write a long post on nail care, but there is so much to write about that I'll have to split it into several sections. In this post I'll deal with the nail care products I've used or that I still use. Link in the product name will take you to its ingredients list.

At first glance, Flormar 416 is a regular cardinal red creme. On closer inspection, tiny sparse red glitter can be seen in it. I have to say that at first I thought that it must have been transfered from my top coat brush, but no. The same glitter can be seen in the bottle and on the swatch wheel. That was a pleasant surprise. I'm only sorry the glitter isn't more prominent.

You can see from the first photo that my index fingers have wonky nails, my nails are fan-shaped, too long and horribly painted. You can't see from the photo that they are also thin, brittle and peeling-prone.

The new collection of Aura nail polishes is out on the market. It is a line of magnetic polishes called Magnetic Intergalactic and it contains 6 polishes. The bottle is of 8 ml and every polish comes with a magnet attached to the bottle cap. I chose shade 947 - Sputnik parts because it was the most interesting of the six. Other shades are blue, silver, purple, copper and olive green.

Classics cosmetics is made by the same company that makes Golden Rose - Erkul cosmetics. I only have tried out Classics nail polishes. This polish is from Charming line. The bottle is of 7,5 ml. The range of colours (available in our stores) isn't great.

It doesn't happen very often that I see polish on someone or on a blog and that I instantly have to buy it, and when it does happen it is usually something I can't get. That was not the case this time because the polish in question is available in every DM store. I accidentally stumbled upon it while browsing Nihrida's blog and the next day I rushed and bought it. Essence nail polishes are 5-free and don't contain Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor. They are not tested on animals.

I got my first Color Club polishes at Cosmetics fair on Belgrade this spring. I picked Explosive and Ruby Slippers. Color Club polishes are 3-free and don't contain formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene. They are not being tested on animals. They also don't contain animal products so they are vegan-friendly.
